1:38 am
standing in front of some declarations of love that one city says are dangerous. kiet? >> reporter: the city has been accused of dousing the romance out here and being a kill joy by telling all the owners of the so-called love lots to come and get them. they've been warned. and tomorrow is the deadline. on the main street bridge in los gatos, it is government, not love, that conquers all. >> a big issue about nothing. i mean, it's just absurd that people can get overwrought about something so insignificant. >> reporter: back in august, kim and caroline celebrated their wedding anniversary with this. a pink lock with a personal inscription. they were the first to attach it to the bridge in town, as a symbol of their marriage of 30 years. >> it symbolizes the unity of us and a permanence.
1:39 am
>> reporter: so >> reporter: so-called love locks are a tradition. as many as 28 locks appeared by the end of the year. they thought they had started a trend that would last generations. but four months after it all began, the city put up a sign saying the locks were illegal and had to go. >> when it finally looked like it was going to come to an end, for some reason it sucker- punched me. >> reporter: they said too many locks could weigh the fence, which could topple in a windstorm. also it could turn into an eyesore. >> what do you tell people who say you're being too careful? >> well, i don't know that you can be too careful when you're talking about traffic safety and roadway safety. >> you don't buy it? >> not at all. it's a red herring. it has nothing to do with traffic. >> reporter: and so the town and the citizens have reached a compromise.
1:40 am
there is a new home for this whole love locks movement at the art museum. they will have a grand opening ceremony on the night of february 13. >> all right, kiet. thank you well, it gets worse. an antibullying video just turned into a huge pr problem for the 49ers. >> reporter: it has been taken down. the video's purpose was to stop the bullying of gay teens. >> believe in yourself. set goals for yourself. look to the future and it will get better. >> reporter: ahmad brookes told usa today said they didn't realize that's what it was specifically about when they signed on for the video. for now, the "it gets better" project has removed the 49ers video from its archives. this comes on the heels of
1:41 am
chris culliver's apology for saying he wouldn't welcome a gay player in his locker room. >> i apologize and i'm sorry. that's not what i feel in my art. that's why i'm addressing the situation now. and like i said, i hope that i will -- i know i will learn and grow from the situation. >> reporter: there's actually a petition going on right now on change.org asking the nfl to send chris culliver away to the new york gay football league. the game is just a couple of days away. is this going to be a distraction? >> i talked to isaac today and several of the 49ers, and, you know, they're having a great week, a great week of practice and they have had great attitudes. same is true for the ravens. so i think both teams have had a great week.
1:42 am
teams inevitably get past that point. >> reporter: we're just going to have to see what happens then. what have you been doing today? >> i was strolling around, doing the interviews this morning. we're doing a webcast tonight and look who i stumble upon! >> here we are again. the quest for six, as they say. yeah! yeah! yeah. >> i think it's gonna happen. >> oh, joe thinks it's going to happen. you hear that, san francisco? >> joe montana, of course, with jennifer and a couple of other friends. so montana officially predicts the 49ers will win. no shock there. but when you consider the fact that he is 4-and-0 in super bowls, it's spoken from experience. >> reporter: hey, there you go. i'm for it. i trust his prediction. >> yes. absolutely. so do i. coming up, we're going to hear from a hall of fame quarterback who gives some advice to colin kaepernick in just his second year going to a super bowl. >> reporter: can't wait to hear that. ken, back to you. >> amazing. montana, been there, done that.
1:43 am
can't doubt it. dennis and michelle, thank you guys. late tonight we learned that a rabid cat in sonoma county bit someone, and that person had to get rabies shots. the department of health services tells us it was an unvaccinated cat from the glen ellen area. this is the first confirmed case of rabies in a domestic animal in 16 years. because of it, vip pet care in sonoma county will be offering $5 vaccinations for dogs and cats for the next three weeks. what's that expression, with friends like these? a grilling on capitol hill came from a close friend. senator john mccain lit into chuck hagel for the troop surge in iraq. >> whether you were right or wrong about the surge. >> i'll explain why i made those comments. >> i want to know if you were right or wrong. that's a direct question. i expect a direct answer.
1:44 am
>> the surge assisted in the objective. but if we review the record a little bit -- >> will you please answer the question? were you correct or incorrect when you said that -- >> now, despite some conservative opposition, hagel is expected to win confirmation as the pentagon chief. americans have been buying guns in record numbers lately, ever since the talk about tightening gun-control laws. but there is a different type of firearm dealer also doing a booming business these days. reporter joe vazquez shows us it's do it yourself. >> reporter: don't wanna buy a gun? >> sometimes you want things done right. you gotta do it yourself. >> reporter: how about making your own? >> we are flooded with orders right now. >> reporter: our san diego affiliate found a gun owner in oceanside that said its business is booming. arris is a firearm dealer, with its own machine shop, where people can build their own
1:45 am
guns, even ar-15 rifles. >> this right here, that's where your actual trigger assembly and everything is, to make it an actual firearm. at this stage, literally it's a paper weight. >> reporter: they insist this is legal in california. >> 1968. i make a weapon for personal use, but not for sale or distribution. >> reporter: since the provision is that you will not sell the weapon, the owner is not required to put a serial number on it. you don't end up on any government list. felons and undocumented immigrants are among those not allowed. >> if we even get wind that you're a felon, we're going to contact somebody about it. there's a certain sense of responsibility that goes with firearm ownership. >> reporter: on its website, the store organizes what it calls build parties where people get together and learn how to manufacture and assembly their own ar-15's. joe vazquez, cbs 5. coming up, how one passenger's free
